Daily Pastoral #21

If you feel like you’re wandering through the wilderness (c’mon now from the back pew), I have a couple of thoughts for you...

First of all, you’re not alone. If you manage to avoid the wilderness, methinks you’re really not living (or you’re avoiding the wilderness that surrounds you). 

But here’s the really good news...

God does big things in the wilderness.
God does new things, awesome things, reparative things, restorative things. 

The wilderness is God’s playground.
God works in the darkness
and in the hiddenness
of the wild. 

Hold fast, dear friend.
